Heidi M.

Resume/C.V.

I can help you create print products that get your message across clearly and effectively. No extra words, no superfluous design -- just the get-the-job-done forthrightness that we're known for here on the prairie.

I've been writing and designing for a decade -- first at daily newspapers, then at a magazine, then online and for my own blog, and finally for a variety of nonprofits. I'm known for an engaging writing style (including a good grasp of Associated Press requirements, as well as decent grammar skills) and for clean, professional designs. I can help all along the creative process: writing, editing, proofreading, basic design or layout.
